What kind of lice is found on a cow?

Cattle are primarily affected by two types of lice: biting lice (such as Bovicola bovis) and sucking lice (such as Linognathus vituli). Biting lice feed on skin debris and blood, while sucking lice feed directly on the blood of the host. Infestations can lead to irritation, weight loss, and decreased milk production in affected cows. Proper management and treatment are essential to control lice populations in cattle.
